He is just one part of the problem but he needs to get centered so the rest of the offense can use his confidence to build off of. I definitely don’t think this is all his fault though. Gase has control over getting this shit under control too.

That dodge commercial is racist. 4 black cars racing down the road then a white SUV comes rushing up with two white guys driving it and the black cars move out of the way so the white one can lead them….. Seriously. Really not smart as far as the people who signed off on that. All they had to do was have cats of all colors and then pick a green one to lead or something lol.

The funny-not funny thing is, you’re probably right. After I saw some person create a stink for some Hobby place selling raw cotton as part of a decorative item, saying it was racist…well, what else is there?

There is literally nothing worse on a football Sunday than to get our asses handed to us by the stupid Jest. All the crap and BS we endured this offseason that we held off last week caught up to us this week.

He’s having a bad game. Can we relax a little bit that he’s done? He’s rushing every throw, because he’s not getting protection. It’s a cause and effect thing. It’s amazing how one dimensional the complaints are. We have no running threat whatsoever, and the defense is just coming after him, Do you guys NOT see this? C’mon!

How is it his arm? He’s throwing while running backwards, or running forward. How many times did he step into a throw? I’m watching the same game you guys are, and I see him throwing like he’s afraid of the pressure, either because it’s really there, or he just expects it

Tim, not being difficult, but did you read my reply? Did you ever throw a football off your back foot? Did you ever throw while moving backwards? Did you ever try to throw with some velocity while running forward? It’s hard. I don’t think Cutler’s arm is the issue, I think he was a little shellshocked today. He was either pressured or feeling pressure (in his head), and that caused a lot of bad throws. He didn’t do that last week, so we just forget about last week’s game, and only count this one?

Yes, he often throws off his back foot and relied on his arm. He doesn’t have it anymore. I saw it against the Chargers but didn’t want to get into it. I just saw it again. Our receivers bailed him out many times in LA. Today it was worse. This looks like Favre at the end.

I agree he didn’t play well. Did anyone in this game with the exception of Chase Allen play well? We looked like garbage. Why is it determined that Cutler is done? He played bad when the offense including our running game also looked like shit. It’s hard to win when you’re one dimensional/ It’s his second game back with this team. He was signed a few weeks ago. Can we give him a chance? You want Moore to start, I think that’s crazy. If Gase determines Cutler’s done, that’s one thing, but as long as Cutler is Gase’s QB, he’s mine too

Protection was not great but was overly horrible either. Pocket was small but was open at the front as it should be. Some plays it collapsed at the front though.

Coverage was there most the game. Cutler got rattled and from the hits, which there were a bunch of questionably late ones. He started throwing off his back foot which meant he couldn’t get anything on the throws which made the small windows he was give impossible to make.

They had a perfect game plan for us on defense, but we also didn’t execute or make the right adjustments to what they were doing. TE and RB passes would have helped but we called outside pass plays to them when the LBs were leaving the shallow middle open. Running game was ineffective and we live or die off our running game.

Our zone blocking zone runs played right into their scheme which was open to the backside so we should have been running more counters and maybe thrown in a couple misdirection traps and/or reverses to keep them honest. We could have gone more power run, power ok blocking, but I think we were just over manned for that.

Our defense was blasted in the secondary, Maxwell redeemed himself a little but was a liability in the first half, verner couldn’t replace him without getting burnt himself, slot coverage was bad, Howard was decent but he had to scramble to catch back up on coverage he got burned but got caught back up a few times.

LB s didn’t tackle well and were out of position a lot. They were slow in coverage. Off and on game for all of them.

DL was ok, decent pressure from the outside but could have used more. Suh and Godchaux had pressure up the middle but they didn’t get good support from the LBs in the middle. I don’t know what it’s going to take to get holding called for whomever defenses Wake, they hold him around the neck even and still no calls.

Suckfest all over the field today. We deserved to be shut out and I hope Gase asschews everyone on the team while holding a mirror and looking at himself at the same time.

Was more upset with the OL in run blocking more so than pass pro this game though they really did neither well. I know that unit is better than that. Last week was a better pass rush team and we shut them down. Obviously we just didn’t come to play today. Maybe we should have traveled there last Monday and spent the week there worked last week lol

Yeah and it’s not a sign of everything I mean we saw a better game last week and we notoriously start slow. We just need to get shit straight and not embarrass ourselves, because make no mistake, this was embarrassing

I do hope they go early and get acclimated to the time difference. Jet lag is awful. I used to travel to Europe for work, could never get adjusted. I’d be falling asleep all day and could not go to sleep at night. Horrible.

Cutler’s arm is not the one he had a few years ago. I truly don’t see him turning it around but obviously I hope he does. He looks like a pitcher who lost his stuff. Have at it, that’s what I see.
——-
I’m surprised you see it that way, but it’s all good. Our O-Line play was so chaotic that I saw Cutler throwing off his front foot… and he delivered LASERS into the breadbasket of his receivers.

Hey, gotta give props to the stej’s Secondary for making REALLY nice plays on the ball in this game… and I don’t mind doing so.

Cutler’s arm wasn’t the problem it was his feet. He never planted his feet well on his throws and most of the time he was throwing off his back foot. There is no way you can get anything on a throw like that.

I would have put him in there regardless wasn’t like anybody else seem like they understood the Playbook either. It would have also been good just to see athletically where he was at. They could have put him in situations where it was see ball get ball.

For what it’s worth him I agree with you that his arm isn’t what it used to be. It is however still much better than a lot of what quarterbacks have. The big problem was he was throwing off his back foot he wasn’t planning on his throws because he felt like he didn’t have the time to do that. There were times when he was correct and there were other times that he just rushed it because he was nervous.

Cutler had time and made bad decisions and throws. When he had no time he got sacked or threw INTs. Again maybe he’s rusty, but he looked lost and lacking skill to me. I guess it’s weird coming from positive Tim, but I do not like what I’m seeing from him.

Play calling always looks bad when there is no execution. We could have won this game even pllaying like shit. That’s how bad the O played. Defense and STs were fine overall. The O was so bad it was hard to watch.

I agree it wasn’t as bad a performance as people are making it out to be on Cutler’s part this time. It’s really a combined problem between the him and the OL protection and the fact we didn’t have a running game to balance out everything. Cutler has a lot of elite quarterback skills but one of the ones he does not have is carrying a team on his shoulders. He really needed his security blanket, ajayi, to carry the load.

No one had focus in that game that was the majority of the problem no one did their job which made any one person unable to do it all by themselves. Did they try to make things out of nothing he couldn’t do it Landry tried really hard to make things out of nothing he couldn’t do it Cutler tried to make things happen out of nothing he couldn’t do it. It’s a team game and when the team doesn’t put forth the effort together they lose. So I guess since Tim is taking my role this time I’ll take his.

Cutler wasn’t sharp by any means…..but then he was getting lots of pressure. And not like he was giving bad handoffs particularly yet the running game was shut down. I’m with M13 that my biggest finger today points at the O line.

Kinda doing some of the same stuff you always warn others not to do or at least I think you should realize this is the same thing that so.e people have show when pointing out Tanny’s mistakes, picking a play or a couple to establish the entirety of a game. It’s true there were bad plays fully on him, I’m sure most everyone agrees but just as you defend Tanny against that, so should Cutler be defended as it wasn’t all on a couple of plays that made the whole game fail.

Landry was uncharacteristically off his game too. One for sure TD on what was a great throw by Cutler, putting it to where Landry could make a play but the defender couldn’t. Landry had hands on. It which usually is a catch, but he couldn’t haul it in.

D – Very true. Also, we don’t know if Cutler was expecting Landry to go to a different place. It’s his 2nd game, those kind of mistakes are possible
———
EXACTLY correct, D and Mike E.

Tannehill has never been a high int guy but Cutler has been.
****************************
Cutler has 1 INT in 2 games. His one INT was just trying to make something happen running to escape pressure. It’s not like he threw a couple of pick 6’s

Say what you want but it was one of the worst games played by a QB in a long time. He missed open and he was just not seeing the field and was constantly late and off target with his throws. In short he was horrible

Tim is talking about a play where Cutler threw the ball to no one, it landed between Parker and Landry, I think Parker was on the right side of the end zone, and Landry was in the middle, and Cutler threw it basically between them for an incomplete pass.

Ken 3.22 to 2.5 ints per attempt. But TDs to attempt is 4.62 to 4.01. so it shows ya what really makes the difference in the, Cutler is more of a deep pass risk taker, Tanny us a high percentage walk it down the field player. They have their pluses and minuses but when I compare the two in almost every QB stat they were flip flopping between the two.

The media ha s made Cutler more gunslinger throws a lot of ints but the stats don’t say that. His comp percentage is like decmial places off Tanny’s and that’s considered Tanny’s stingers attribute.

Cutler wins, by a small margin, the majority of the QB stats. So if that’s the ah ha I told you He sucks compared to Tanny, you aren’t going to have a strong argument.

We lost, he had a bad game and so you want to to be about him not being as good as Tanny, again you are just now on the other side of what was going on with Tanny previously. Where is the tolerance now? Where is the, well let’s see how he does going forward?

Btw it sounded like that was all aimed at you Ken since I replied first to you about the statistics part, but the rest was more meant for people already calling him done with us, a failure, which you might count yourself as part but aren’t the only one I was speaking to

I don’t want to trade Tannehill at all, but let’s not kid ourselves that this is the type of game RT would have thrived in. I probably would have been defending him today instead of Cutler. It’s just amazing. How many times have we seen RT have an awful game when we have no run game, and the defense can’t get off the field? How many times? SHEESH! It’s like we have subjective amnesia!

He wouldn’t have anymore success. He is roughly the same guy who also can’t take the team on his shoulders and would need solid OL play to and running game to win. Difference might have been Tanny would have run for it on a few plays where Cutler tried to force the pass. He also likely would have taken more sacks of even got stripped on some of those sacks.

Not the Tanny that had the knee injury. Maybe next year, but I’m not even sure of that. What I mean by Tanny with the injury, is if he was able to play this season with the brace. I don’t think he was going to be a running QB like he was in previous seasons

2 games, without the benefit of a OS or much of a TC? You make that call that fast. Again, Tanny has had multiple years, multiple TCs and PS, Be you are quick to say it’s too early. Tim I’m not saying there isn’t reasons for concern, but you need to remind yourself the advice you have given others when they did the same at the beginning of the season last year when Tanny was stinking it up. Took half a year before anything started clicking for him.

I totally agree. He hasn’t had that much playing time at all with this offense, yet all these heavy judgements are coming down. I’m shocked at how fast this blog has given up on Cutler. It’s amazing to me

I am not saying this should be the end of Cutler cause I think he can win as many games for us as Matt Moore. I don’t think he has become a noodle arm but his passes today did not have zip on them because he was not stepping into most of his throws. It wasn’t just because of the pressure this game cause, IMO, he did it on about half his passes last week also. I think this is largely due to lack of TC and PS action. There seems to be a lot of rust in his game. He really needs watch tape on himself and fix what he is doing wrong. Us (Me, Tim, Ken) arm chair QB coaches can see it.

I’m only sweating the secondary at this point. They didn’t have anything they had to do to shut down their recovers except match up with their man and they got owned over and over, just flat out beat.

I’d bench Maxwell and see if it straightened him out, I’d put McTyer in his spot while we looked for a better pickup off a PS or FA, I’d look to Harlan Miller off Arizona’s PS.

I’d put verner in the slot which is his best spot. We need a vet that understands football better to be in that spot. McCain is always 2 steps off his man, and slot receivers can have that much of a step on their defender and ever hope to prevent quick passes. Wait until the NE game, McCain is going to get owned.

I might even think of moving Thomas there, McCain is not the answer there, but I’m also not completely convinced Verner is either.

The secondary needs a shake up or a come to Jesus about the fragility of their place in the team and definitely as starters.

I do think our OL and coaches need to be bitch slapped after this game. I’m not going to give Cutler a bitch slap this game cause he played about the same with the exception of having more pressure. If we were able to run the ball this game like we did the last game, we would have controlled the game like last week and wore them out instead of the other way around. If we could have ran the ball, I believe we would have another close win instead of an embarrassing loss. Our D would have been able to play like they did in the 1st qtr the whole game like last week. To me, the OL caused this loss.

We lost this in the trenches on both sides of the ball… Plain and simple !! You can’t put this loss on just 1 guy. Our OLine sucked today and couldn’t open up rushing lanes or pass protect. Our front 4 on D couldn’t pressure the QB. Oh and our secondary was out of position quite a bit. We will fix this.. #GASEISPISSED !!!
